the J-word

A powerful excerpt from Rachel Corrie: Too Hot for New York, an article by Philip Weiss detailing the controversy over a New York theater's decision to postpone a play about Rachel Corrie.
Hunka doesn't use the J-word. Jen Marlowe does. A Jewish activist with Rachelswords.org (which is staging a reading of Corrie's words on March 22 with the Corrie parents present), she says, "I don't want to say the Jewish community is monolithic. It isn't. But among many American Jews who are very progressive and fight deeply for many social justice issues, there's a knee-jerk reflexive reaction that happens around issues related to Israel."

Questions about pressure from Jewish leaders morph quickly into questions about funding. Ellen Stewart, the legendary director of the theatrical group La MaMa E.T.C., which is across East 4th Street from the Workshop, speculates that the trouble began with its "very affluent" board. Rachel's father, Craig Corrie, echoes her. "Do an investigation, follow the money." I called six board members and got no response. (About a third appear to be Jewish, as am I.) This is of course a charged issue. The writer Alisa Solomon, who was appalled by the postponement, nonetheless warns, "There's something a little too familiar about the image of Jews pulling the puppet strings behind the scenes."

Perhaps. But Nicola's statement about a back channel to Jewish leaders suggests the presence of a cultural lobby that parallels the vaunted pro-Israel lobby in think tanks and Congress. I doubt we will find out whether the Workshop's decision was "internally generated," as Kushner contends, or more orchestrated, as I suspect. What the episode has demonstrated is a climate of fear. Not of physical harm, but of loss of opportunities. "The silence results from fear and intimidation," says Cindy Corrie. "I don't see what else. And it harms not only Palestinians. I believe, from the bottom of my heart, it harms Israelis and it harms us."
No doubt it harms everyone. But, not all harms are created equal.

Medical Treatment Can Also Be Psychologic
(Mighty Thor, 19 Mar 06)

Yes absolutely, the accursed "J" word--the enemy, the adversary (Satanic), the disease of our Western culture: SUBJECTIVISM (hence Talmud, hence Jews and their accomplices/co-conspirators among the gentiles) and rule of lies and fraud, not LAW IN OBJECTIVITY.

Hence Judaic-Talmudic rule (fascism, tyranny, dictatorship of a putrid oligarchy) begins and ends on earth w. its fraudulent substance such as Federal Reserve Bank counterfeiting fraud--and this prevalence of fraud and the Fed then is what establishes Jews as master- and topmost conspirators and criminals--the very cream of society.

And well, gee, but if a generation of corrupt gentiles think it is "morally virtuous" to so tolerate such rotten Jew disease-of-opportunity capitalizing upon gentile hubris, then they just deserve all it does to them, don't they? After all, hubris must have its price, eh? Such is determinist sociology demonstrated so perfectly in history--see Oswald Spengler's "Decline of the West."

And look at these stupid gentiles going over, so willingly, to enforce the Jew-empire in Iraq, happily breathing in all that nice "depleted" uranium dust, eh? So if gentiles are that "brave" to being that stupid, suicidal, and self-sacrificial, then I guess it isn't surprising Jew-Mammon empire will prevail, at least for a time until stupid gentiles kill themselves off. Then Jews will have to turn upon Jews, and the disease finally works its way through the previously healthy herd of humans, eh? The determinist cycle of history thus demonstrates itself. Jews are "evil"; just antithetic disease (insanity and hubris given expression--as in form of "morality," like Pelagian heresy).

Mike Collins Piper demonstrates how Jews have always ruled organized crime in USA; ck his work, "The New Jerusalem."

To remove the Jew-disease (and associated accomplices-traitors) fm among the gentile population will require nothing less than a cultural revolution as of Roman emperor Constantine the Great fm 4th century.

CONCLUSION: For remember medical treatment can also be psychological: our fellow gentiles must realize it isn't healthy to tolerate such Jew (Talmud)-disease (subjectivist delusion). We must do away w. fraud, hence the Fed and Jews; they go together and cannot live without one another. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Thor

Big mistake to above essay, sorry: I meant to say (third to last paragraph) "Jews are NOT 'evil.'" Thanks again, and ck for more essays at NewNation.org under "commentary" heading and "Apollonian" (an outstanding journalistic analyst). Honest elections and death to the Fed. Thor

Thor, why can't you just admit that not all Jews are culpable, just as you admit that not only Jews are culpable?

Why can't you just stick to facts and individual responsibility?

Why must you continue your categorical condemnation of Jews, when clearly it is neither founded in logic or reality and therefore tends to repel readers.

When you demonize an entire faith, you will not win hearts and minds, and you will not be able to form the consensus and unity needed to do away with the Federal Reserve System, which is indeed an abomination.

I wouldn't care if the people running it were from Mars. I just want it abolished.

Qrswave's Advice Rejected: Get Ur Own House In Order--Then Talk
(Mighty Thor, 19 Mar 06)

Thanks for ur child's simplistic admonition qrswave. But it is u who immorally (if that word has any real meaning) who continues to ignore basic nature and meaning of Talmudism, essence of Judaism.

Hence u immorally refuse to acknowledge the honest and repeatedly invoked premise for my conclusion Judaism is to be condemned absolutely and categorically.

It is u who are apostate, heretical, irrational, and hence then immoral as that word has real meaning. Further, dear qrswave, it's a little presumptuous for u to tell us native white Christians how we're to act politically. U desperately need to get ur own "house in order" first. Ur counterarguments are too easily refuted. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Thor

Which "house?"

And, re: "it's a little presumptuous for u to tell us native white Christians how we're to act politically."

Then what do you mean by your repeated calls for "a broader cultural revolution?"

Broader among White Christians? If you insist on an approach that has the effect of marginalizing your goals, then how can you achieve the broad support needed for a revolution?

Dear qrswave, this is why u're so weak in history: all I merely need do is point to an earlier "Wave" or cycle of history, this being the Roman example of 4th cent. AD and Saint Constantine the Great. You don't listen and note like good scientist, qrswave, then u blame me.

Further, u thus evade the issue which is antithetic nature of Talmudist subjectivity--which u defend against proper loyalty to objectivity, hence Islam (as I humbly and NOT presumptuously understand). U're too easy to refute. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Thor

Thanks for the update. Hadn't heard about this story for some time and was wondering how it was playing out. I guess I'm a bit surprised somebody hasn't stepped in and financed it. Doesn't cost that much to put on a play.
